Youssef Marzouk is a Professor in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at MIT and co-director of the MIT Center for Computational Science & Engineering. He is also a core member of MIT's Statistics and Data Science Center and director of the MIT Aerospace Computational Design Laboratory. His research interests lie at the intersection of computation and statistical inference with physical modeling. He develops new methodologies for uncertainty quantification, Bayesian modeling and computation, data assimilation, experimental design, and machine learning in complex physical systems. His methodological work is motivated by a wide variety of engineering, environmental, and geophysics applications. He received his SB, SM, and PhD degrees from MIT and spent four years at Sandia National Laboratories before joining the MIT faculty in 2009. He is a recipient of the Hertz Foundation Doctoral Thesis Prize, the Sandia Laboratories Truman Fellowship, the US Department of Energy Early Career Research Award, and the Junior Bose Award for Teaching Excellence from the MIT School of Engineering. He is an Associate Fellow of the AIAA and currently serves on the editorial boards of the SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing, the SIAM/ASA Journal on Uncertainty Quantification, and several other journals.
